Micro

A Norman Records recommendation (26th June 2008)

This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Over the years Moteer have produced some fine records. The label has developed its sound so you pretty much know what you're gonna get with each release. Some nice acoustics over some small baby sized electronics and bingo the label are on the phone inviting you round to Moteer mansions for some cocktails and that. I do like a nice cocktail..... Anyhoo This Con_cetta 'Micro' CD fits in nicely with the label though to my ears it's a bit different for the label. Sure there's the 2 vital ingredients above but there's a lot more here to . The opener kicks off sounding just like Brian Eno's Music For Airports or perhaps some early Harold Budd with some light style Fennesz crackles and wisps in the background. The melodies which hacksaw their way into your tiny minds are very much correct and present. If you listen to this through headphones you'll get the crackles and all the small micro electronics you'd regularly miss. I have to say I quite like that as I've heard this a few times and listening to it through headphones makes me feel like I've discovered some new dimensions to the record. Lush ambient electronics, coupled with lots of Moteer style twinkles, melodies and whatnots all crumpled together to make a delicious CD pie. I have to get the pies in somewhere.... I've not had one all week, despite the fact an award winning pie shop has opened up locally. Seriously I've done really well. I've managed to block pies out of my mind until now. Arses.... Well if that hasn't sold it to you (my fascinating pie talk) then the 1st 200 copies come with a bonus remix CD featuring mixes by The Remote Viewer, Part Timer, The Boats, Then Dof and lots more. If it's anything like the last Moteer release with the bonus CD then don't dawdle as it's gonna fly out. Quality!!

What their label says...

Our second release of a turbulent musical season comes from Italian sound manipulator
con_ cetta known to his family and friends as Giuseppe Cordaro, con_cetta is the sonic
vehicle which allows our new moteer family member to create wave upon looping wave
of texture and sound. The result is micro, our fourteenth moteer release.
As the saying doesn't go ''you don't have to be able to merge micro electronics and
delicate acoustics to get a moteer release, but it helps''.
Micro takes this formula and adds more and more and more. con_cetta refers to his
musical output as ''... mainly based on autogenerative processes, in particular on the
vertical sound concept'', and we think we know what he's getting at. He's saying that if
you start with a battered old piano and asked Seefeel to sample it and then send the tapes
to William Basinski and ask him to loop it and then ask Stars of the lid to perform it on a
summers night at some sparse art gallery, well we're starting to make sense of things.
Just.

Already a prolific composer (we whittled this album from a trunk of 4 full cdrs) micro is a
beautiful introduction to the world of con_cetta.
Music as seen through the eyes of studied European cool, the streets and sounds of Milan
forming microloops to lose yourself in and the beaches and skies of Sicily (from where our
boy was raised) adding the coastal drifts upon which to flow.
This is music for the beauty around you. Organic sounds. And we ain't chargin' a fortune
for 'em. Drink em up. You'll love it.
Initial 200 copies come with a handcrafted remix cd featuring moteer friends past, present
and future. As if you needed tempting.
